    Aubergine Soup Recipe

    Aubergine Soup recipe
    1. Before starting this recipe, if you are using cumin seeds, then toast them in the skillet until they smell like something is being cooked and grind them with the help of a mixer or mortar or pestle.
    2. First, you have to preheat your oven to 400F and keep that eggplant on the baking sheet (foil-lined). You can brush the eggplant with some olive oil and whole cumin seeds.
    3. Now roast these eggplants for about 20-30 minutes until they are soft enough to easily get pricked by a fork. Peel off the skin of eggplants and keep them aside.
    4. In a large soup pot add some olive oil and keep it over medium-high heat. Now add the onions and saute them until they turn a little translucent and tender. Continue cooking and add the chopped celery into this mixture and let it get soft and stir occasionally.
    5. Add the chicken stock to this mixture and some diced tomatoes, garlic, parsley, cilantro, thyme, and eggplant. Keep the level of water such that the surface of the contents of the soup remains covered.
    6. Cook this soup for about 20-25 minutes on low heat and using a blender, blend it until you find it smooth enough.
    7. Season with some salt and pepper according to your taste and garnish with some fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot!

    Ok, now what? Now, you only need to keep your soup bowl and taste buds ready. Yes, enjoy this hot soup and make it easy for your house’s chef to gather compliments.
